Good value - long course

The 6500 yard length from the white tees is much longer than other public courses in the area. This extra length (challenge) with greens in good shape makes this course a good value for the money

This time of year this course is in beautiful condition. The greens were quick and manicured. Love the layout.

Scammed

Paid online with cart fee included. Counter guy charged an extra $18 per golfer for carts and wouldn't deduct from what we already paid. Felt like a bait and switch.

Charged extra

Booked a tee time with cart fees included. Counter guy charged me and extra $18 per golfer in cart fees despite me already paying them. Wouldn't budge even though it was also raining and no one else.on the course. Liked the course itself but not worth the money if they're gonna charge extra once you get there. Won't be coming back.

Greens were in decent shape. They have been punched a week ago. Fairways were dry due to the lack of rain.

Fun course

This is a fun course, especially if you’re long off the tee but not always straight. It could use another set of tees more forward for women; our group was two couples and the women do hit it pretty far but a few holes were borderline unfair for them. The greens had aeration holes and weren’t great as a result. Lack of rain has impacted the entire course, which apparently doesn’t have a sprinkler system.

It’s a great course, very well maintained, everyone played at a good pace and the staff was very friendly. I will be coming back.

Thank you for the experience

Airrad

They had just finished aerating the course the same day I played, and if I knew that was the case, I would’ve never played it

Foursome?

I found a deal for 1 golfer assuming I was a fourth, don’t like playing alone because you’re always caught up with the people in front and waiting. The starter asked if my name was someone else so I assumed that was the name of the group I was with. He told me I can go if I want I asked him if I was by myself he said yes. Halfway through the second hole another single player behind me caught up and joined me and it was the guy I was supposed to be with from the beginning. We caught up to the group in front on the 4th tee with a backup, another single caught up with us on the 5th and jumped and another on 16. Why not just put the 4 of us together from the get go?

Truly Unacceptable

Played Highland Woods many times. Usually okay but they had a scheduled outing and it was diabolically bad. Took 4 hours to play 13 holes. Left after 13. They said a ranger would be involved before we tee’d off because of said outing. We did not see a ranger one time. Groups behind us went inside and got refunds after 9 holes. After hole 9 it took 25 minutes to tee off on 10. Just so incredibly frustrating. Don’t know if I could ever play it again if that’s how they operate.
